[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 3873403, member: 5066"]It should but, with a 28k hammer & 35k sale with BP 6 months ago, the seller really screwed the pooch here. I suspect the seller was hoping for Foo-Foo folk art people with deep pockets to bite, they didn't and all it got was lowly old furniture people. The offer last fall was very fair IMO and the seller likely will come to regret turning their nose up at it. It's a very nice example but there are condition issues, the feet are replaced to begin with. There is only 1 Bieber chest known with original feet extant and those feet were removed, restored, and reinstalled on the chest. It's how we know what they SHOULD look like. (they should look like the feet on the chest that started this thread):) I would add Bieber just isn't well known enough for Foo-Foo people at this time.[/QUOTE]
